We all knew this might happen, we all were surprised it lasted so long...
Seems that fun things cant last forever...
Summary:
On May 31st, the company (GameSpy) is shutting down its servers for good, and as a result, a bunch of games are losing their online capabilities.
There is a list of GameSpy sported titles, I guess these will be the ones that go dark. Losv is on it.

We'll have to wait till May 31st, then we'll know for sure.

Tunngle is set to rescue all GameSpy games
Here is a copy of the original post on Tunngle blog:
Dear Gamer, Publisher, Developer and Modder,
as you heard GameSpy is permanently closing their Doors on May 31st 2014. This is very sad news for all those player that are currently using their service to play classic games online. Does this mean that it’s Game Over? Not a chance. Like in every fairy tale worth that name there is a white knight who is going to rescue the princess.
White knight? Princess? What the heck are you talking about? We’re talking about Tunngle! Allowing everyone to play classics games through the Internet has always been our goal since day one.
We programmed Tunngle to allow everyone to play LAN muti-player games on-line so that every LAN game could live forever!
And this is exactly what you need now! A costless solution to keep all your games alive!
Whether you are a developer, a publisher or a PC gamer, this is the right time to spread the word and to let everyone know that there is a piece of technology which keeps every game alive (for free!).
Tunngle has over 5 million registered members and it is growing.
You don’t want to wait more when you can be a part of it now!
If you want to know if your game is supported please take a look at our Network-Browser and search for it.
If you can’t find the right game network, don’t panic!
Visit our board and ask for a public network. We will do our best to set it up and get you ready to play your favorite multi-player game in no time!
If you are a Publisher or a Developer and you are looking for a cost efficient replacement for your game Master Server, you can easily integrate Tunngle into your project thanks to our Application Programming Interface. It is simple, it lasts forever and it has no maintenance costs! Read more.

Nice, they are suggesting the same solution themselves. This might help to spread the word. For now LOSV is still on, day +6, had a coopdm game with 5 players on 2014-06-06. Will see how long it lasts.

Latest update:
GameSpy Arcade is not working anymore. All channels comes with 404 error. The webpage cannot be found.
I had players in my server on 2014-07-24. Nothing since then.
So, Tunngle is the way to host and play online.
